Zelensky: Putin despises the world for seeking "dialogue" with him rather than pressuring him

Translating from the DonPress, May 26:

"Zelensky explained how to stop Russia

The Russian army used the largest number of drones against Ukraine since the start of the full-scale war last night. This information was confirmed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in his Telegram channel. The head of state specified: 

"The geography of the strike this night was from Chernihiv region to Khmelnytsky region, from Kharkiv region to Odessa region. And this was already the third night of combined Russian terror - strike drones and missiles." 

Zelensky stressed that the feeling of complete impunity allows the occupiers to carry out such attacks and increase their scale:

"There is no significant military sense in this, but there is significant political sense. In this way Putin demonstrates how much he despises a world that spends more effort on "dialogue" with him than on pressure."  

At the same time, the Ukrainian leader expressed the opinion that Russia, like any criminal, can only be brought into line by force:

"The increase in Russian strikes should be responded to by increasing sanctions. Russia's ignoring diplomacy and refusing even to cease fire should be responded to by blocking Russian finances and trade in Russian oil. Thanks to everyone in the world who is promoting precisely this strong agenda. Russia must end this war of its own. And for this to happen, its desire to fight must be deprived of resources.""
